Toe Club: Back to Basics

Today I decided to Paint my toes a Raspberry Red color. Its nice and bright and makes my white skin look *kind of* tan.........

Toys

Coco LOVES his toys. In fact, he has so many I had to give him a few shelves of his own to store them all. Here is Coco searching for the *right* toy to play with this afternoon. I was playing Fetch with him inside, to make up for our usual long walks we go on....Since it is way to hot to go for a nice long walk outside. If anyone would like to trade some of their cold weather with us for a few days, please leave a comment. LOL! What do you all think of his toy chest? Lots and lots of toys.......theres more too, on the floor that he already took out! He goes and picks his toys then brings one to me to throw for him. Too cute.


Looks like he picked the flip flop toy. I say Good choice!

Finally found a CAMO bag......

I finally found a CAMO bag! Lisa....Do you love it??? Its Roxy, and although I am not too into Roxy at all, I couldn't pass it up. I like the size of it, I needed a larger tote type bag and this seemed perfect! I am very proud of my purchase. $13 on sale. Yippee!
Here's my other purchase of the day. $10 Express Capris. Another sale. Regular $30.......Couldnt pass it up! Although, I wont be wearing these for a while....Its way too hot here. Shorts are what I wear now this time of year. Even Capris prove to be way to hot. My legs sweat up so easy in them! So I'll look at these for a few months before I get to wear them.......

Baxterman...

Know that I am thinking about you and praying for you. Hope it is nothing serious and this was just a one-time occurance!

Coco's New Crate.....

I got Coco a new crate yesterday. This one is a fabric one, and can open and close up real easy. When it is folded, it is very thin! Thin enough to slip into the side of the closet. I used to use a metal crate for him (he only uses the crate at night to sleep) but that was VERY heavy to move from room to room. So....I got this one and it is very light. Easy to move around. I put it up at night and take it down in the morning. I am very proud of Coco too, he didn't bark at all last night and I thought he was going to. I was prepared for it! He was extra happy to see me in the morning though. They only had green, blue, and orange.......So I got orange. Its not up during the day so I figured the color doesnt matter. (Although I really wanted black)

Coco sniffing away at his new bed........


This is Coco's new toy. It's a flip-flop (hard to tell in this picture though) It is too funny. When he Picks it up, he wraps his nose underneath the flip-flop strap part. He likes to hold it this way.......


Looks like Coco likes his crate........He went in all by himself. I let him have a good hour or so "testing" it out before he went to bed. He brought his flip-flop toy in and got real comfy........


Car

This car was in front of the Market today....... Pulled up on the ramp. Not sure who the guy's head is in the corner! Its a pretty neat car! I wonder if the Engine is supposed to show though??? lol

Scarf Playtime......

Coco enjoys playing with my old scarf. He'll grab it and run all around with it, then shake it real hard. He gets really into playing with *his* scarf! In these pictures you can really see his tan areas on his coat. His hair is starting to grow back now and near his head and neck it is growing back tan! Who would have thought he'd go tan again like his puppy coat was? I think it looks darling though! Everwhere else, he's still pure white.........


Ok, I'm done with this scarf Mom......Can I have a treat now??

See Sandy...

See Sandy.......I *do* have a SEMI sweet tooth. LOL Not much of one, but I do like Strawberries and foods/drinks with Strawberry flavoring. Does this count for anything??? I love these Starbucks Strawberry & Creme Smoothies in a bottle........ (I know - You are laughing your head off at me right now!)


Coco Loves Sports

Here is Coco proudly showing you his Ball Collection. If you zoom in you can see he is in his 'Play Bow' position.......Knelt down and ready for me to play fetch with him. He loves to play fetch in the Hallway!

Pretty boy............. (Yep - Those are my feet in the corner! Too bad you can't even see the black dots! Geez...) I had a nail appt. today for a fill and I was very proud to show my nail lady what I had done on my feet. She was amazed! She laughed and said I am lucky I can still bend down that far! LOL

A Pretty flower in our Front yard. This one has hung around all Spring and now into summer. It is growing around the wood fence. It seems like a sturdy plant.....Great for those of us with NO green thumb what-so-ever...........

Toe Club (and more)

*Toe Club*.......Willow and Belle's mom and I welcome you to join our Toe Club! Fancy up your toes and post. LOL Anyways.......I re-did my toes this afternoon. This time I used a metallic type pink and used black dots instead of white dots. Do you like the black or white dots better?? I can't really decide but I am leaning towards white. Although black makes them pop. You have to Zoom in to see them better. I made the dots a bit more "Round" this time too! This is one of those things Where you learn as you go.......

Here's a close up....................


Here is Coco sleeping against my laptop. I think he likes the heat of it while he sleeps. *Shortly after this picture was taken I cleaned his eye area. I noticed it is getting goupy! And I don't like that to happen*

Yes, you are seeing clearly. This. IS. A. CAMO PEN! I was so excited when I got it I immeditely thought of Lisa.......... We have this insane thing were we are crazy over Camo. This pen has become my favorite pen and I use it for everything. I love it. I am looking into finding Coco a Camo shirt for him to wear. He would look adorable in something Camo. Or maybe a bed with Camo print for him. Something! I have been looking but not much luck. Until........ (See below...)

I just tried Ebay to see what I could find as far as Camo dog clothes. That was a good decision of mine! Take a look at this
CAMO link to see what they have. Most of them are under ten bucks too. I have to decide *which* one I should get him...............

Dance Coco!

Here is Coco dancing for a Jerky treat..........All I have to say is "Dance Coco" and he will stand on his two hind legs and dance all around for a treat. It is the cutest thing. I have it video taped but I guess it is too big for Blogger to upload. Sometimes he will go in a full circle on his back legs. This is his "specialty". Sometimes I think I should send it into America's Funniest Home Videos!

Here is the Bunny out in our yard that I was able to snap a picture of yesterday. He is so tiny and looks like he would be very fluffy. He (and his bunny family) are eating my Strawberries though.......I put a little fence up around the Strawberries though so I hope it keeps them away from them! The bunnies are so cute to have running up and down the stairs in our yard. They run fast too, Coco tried catching one a few days ago.........And let's just say his Pride was ruined!

Nature

I know I'm a bit late in posting about our Mountians here, but it occured to me that I *should* take a picture of the Mountain....Since they are right behind our house! It is beautiful and if you zoom in you can see lots of detail.......


We have some of the cutest bunnies over here. Especially around this time of the year. They are out and about running around with Eachother. They are brown and have cotton white tails. Pure white. They are a sight to see. Coco will see one out the Kitchen window and go crazy. He doesn't like little furry bodies running around *his* yard. I don't blame him.....They run around right in front of him playing with eachother, they are asking for it. Sometimes I'll see one sitting right in front of the window. Almost touching it! The nerve....... Lol For some reason Blogger isn't letting upload anymore pictures right now. I'll try again tomorrow and post a picture of the Bunny. I was able to snap a shoot of it today! Finally........Usually they run away!

Back for a Walk

I took Coco out on a walk today bright and early, with hopes it wouldn't be very hot. Apparently, when you live in Calif. at 7 am it is still very hot. I was all sweaty when we got back home. Coco enjoyed his walk though so I was glad! Here he is "exploring" you can already see the Tree shadows on the ground since the sun was hot and shinning!


Pretty flowers blooming in our yard. They are a deep, deep pink color. At the beginning of Spring it was nothing more then a little green bush. Now we have flowers!

Time for a Walk....

Coco enjoyed his walk today! Although it was hot (near 100*) today it was still a nice walk. Glad I brought my camera along since it was great to capture Coco at every stop we made. He lifts his leg like a true BOY! It doesn't bother me one bit. I know lots of people don't like Male dogs since they lift their legs but I don't see a problem with it. (as long as they don't do it in the house) Coco is potty-trained though So he knows not to pee-pee in the house. On the rare occasions where he does pee in the house, usually on rainy days when it is harder for me to walk him....He was squat like a girl, like he knows not to lift his leg on the furniture! He's a smart little guy. Anyways, on to the pictures....Hey Coco......Are you ready to go for a walk???

Coco's first pit stop.... One of his favorite places to mark. A little wood fence acorss the street.

Coco's second pit stop....... Like a true boy would, a Fire hydrant! I am pretty sure this is the Meet up for all the male dogs in our neighborhood!


After all that walking Coco and Mommy need a drink! Ice cold iced-tea for me........and water for Coco.......
